Brilliant letting one of Scott Pioli's henchmen have his own team to ruin. One of the premier GM jobs in the NFL and it gets handed to a stupid **** who makes three facepalm moves for every good one. Awesome. Just like handing a new Mercedes to a 16 year old girl who's already been in three wrecks.

What I don't understand is why is everyone attacking Joe Paterno and Penn State? They were not the ones who actually hurt those kids. Yes, they could have, and probably should have taken things up to a higher level. They probably followed t...heir "protocol" for reporting these incidents. Why is everyone putting blame on those who did not harm the children instead of the man who did? When will we grow up and put the blame where it should go and stop pointing fingers at everyone else?

Never since the Salem witch hunts or the McCarthy era have people in this country gotten it so wrong by following the media and rumors instead of looking at the facts. I mean, that lady in Florida killed her daughter and even she was not guilty. It's ok, the truth will come out that Tom Corbett and The Second Mile were part of a pedophile ring in Philly and used JoePa as a coverup to hide their secrets.

I love all the people on here still blaming JoPa for what sandickhead did when are you all going to wake up and realize JoPa did what he was suppose to do and yes he felt bad by not doing more, he reported it to his superiors and they assured him it would be takin care of then when it wasn't a lot of the jackasses there and on here put the blame on JoPa the man passed being a devoted coach and a hero to a lot of people so lets just keep blaming him all y'all that blame him need a reality check and wake the hell up

Quote:

I'm so tired of reading this argument. When your employee comes to you and says "I saw a child being raped in our facilities" you tell him "call the police, right now."

There's simply no other acceptable action.

Even if that didn't happen, I can understand that night/next day if Paterno was told they would handle it. He assumed that they would report it to the police. But then weeks, months, YEARS go by, and you still see the man on campus and with kids? Yet you don't do anything because your boss said they'd take care of it? How anyone can sit around and do NOTHING for years is beyond me.

As I've always stated, I don't think he actively tried to cover up. But I do no longer respect him for not doing anything and allowing Sandusky to roam the campus with children. And I swear if anyone comes back with he did what he was supposed to or didn't have the power or if he did more he could get arrested, I will go off on you.

What would happen if all Penn State alumni and fans didn't watch a single game in which our Nittany Lions weren't playing? What would happen to B10 ratings if they lost the viewership of the entire state of Pennsylvania and much of the rest of the Mid-Atlantic region? What if ABC regional 3:30 kickoffs drew a goose egg east of Ohio? Do you think Emmert, Delaney, BTN, ESPN/ABC might realize that the damage they've inflicted upon Pennsylvania can boomerang right back at them?

I'm pretty scared that without the ENTIRE state of Pennsylvania and much of the rest of the Mid-Atlantic region, that the BTN would likely fold. PSU fandom is just so large, it probably makes up about 75% (if not more) of the entire Big Ten fanbase. There's no way the other 11 schools could provide as many viewers as PSU does. We're all ******.

(CBS/AP) U.S. Postal inspectors are leading a federal investigation into whether former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky shared child pornography with other individuals, CBS News has learned.

Analyzing a computer seized from Sandusky, investigators are also looking into whether he sent "seductive letters" across state lines for sexual purposes. Some of these letters were said to be sent to some of his sexual abuse victims.

CBS News has learned that at the end of 2011, allegations were forward by the U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. that Sandusky used the mails to seduce individuals to cross state lines for sexual purposes, with trips and gifts offered. Investigators are looking at 6-7 victims who might have gotten letters.

Also in March of this year, U.S. Postal inspectors were tasked to investigate The Second Mile charity, which was founded by Sandusky. That investigation is on hold, awaiting for documents to be released by the State Attorney.

A source has been told that child pornography was found in at least one of Sandusky's computers. According to the source, there is no evidence that the pornography was of his victims. There is also no mention of a ring or sharing of boys with others. CBS News investigative producer Pat Milton reports that a second source said that none of Sandusky's victims have indicated that there was shared sex with them, Sandusky and any other individual.

The investigation is being carried out of the U.S. Postal Inspectors office in Harrisburg, Pa. and the U.S. Attorney Office of the Middle District of Pennsylvania.

Sandusky, Penn State's defensive coordinator during the program's best years, was arrested in November on dozens of child sex abuse charges. He was convicted in June of 45 criminal counts.

Meanwhile, Penn State's board of trustees will meet this weekend to consider whether to ratify a consent decree with the NCAA that imposed penalties for how the university handled the Sandusky child molestation scandal.

Board chairwoman Karen Peetz told fellow trustees Thursday in an email, which was obtained by The Associated Press, that said there was confusion about how Penn State accepted the sanctions and whether it was the "best course" for the university.

"We have heard from President (Rodney) Erickson and from our legal team," Peetz wrote. "We have had an opportunity to speak our minds. I appreciate everyone's candor and your sincere and heartfelt comments. However, it is now time to put this matter to rest and to move on."

The resolution before the board would say that it "wishes to and hereby does ratify" the consent decree.

"We are leaders of this university," Peetz told the trustees. "We need to lead."

A notice posted on Penn State's website said the 5 p.m. Sunday telephone conference would be broadcast live online.

The NCAA on July 23 barred the school from postseason play for four years, fined it $60 million and invalidated 112 of the football team's wins for the way school officials handled abuse complaints against Sandusky.

Penn State also was stripped of future scholarships, and several high-profile players have decided to transfer to other schools since the penalties were announced. The team opens play at home Sept. 1 against Ohio University.

The NCAA concluded Penn State suffered "an unprecedented failure of institutional integrity leading to a culture in which a football program was held in higher esteem" than its own values, those of the NCAA and higher education, "and most disturbingly the values of human decency."

Penn State acquiesced to the penalties, with Erickson signing the agreement. Two days later, the trustees met in secret before issuing a statement that called the sanctions difficult but the alternatives worse.

Some trustees, alumni and others have reacted angrily. The family of former football coach Joe Paterno, who died in January, and a trustee who said others supported him have sought to appeal the NCAA's decision, but the organization has said the decision is not subject to appeals.

Witness: I Saw Sandusky And Penn State Booster Abuse Boys On Private Plane

Quote:

A witness interviewed by federal authorities in the widening Penn State investigation claims he saw Jerry Sandusky and one of the school's prominent boosters sexually abusing boys on a private plane, RadarOnline.com is reporting exclusively.

The witness was interviewed by the U.S. Postal Inspectors with the FBI present. RadarOnline.com broke the news that a new investigation into a pedophile ring is now being conducted by federal authorities.

And while Postal Inspectors are also trying to determine if Sandusky shared pornography through the mail and sent seductive letters to his victims, the biggest bombshell is the allegation leveled by the witness who was interviewed within the past few weeks.

That man, who has a strong tie to the booster he is accusing, says that Sandusky and the booster abused two boys on a private plane in Pennsylvania, a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.

"The witness doesn't know if the boys are victims who have already been identified or not," the source told Radar. "He claims it happened on a private plane, with no pilot or crew around and that he was an eyewitness.

"His claim is being taken seriously by investigators. They have already asked another man who is connected to one of the victims if he knew anything about this. And they are following up with other potential witnesses."

They were the 1st to find out that the feds were investigating Sandusky pedoo ring.

It's funny you write this, it's actually getting to the point where I expect TMZ to break a significant sports story before ESPN. I know we roll our eyes at these websites but more and more, they are breaking stories quicker than others.

They might have some inside information, but one thing I've learned over the years is that tabloid magazines (and sites) will run info on hunches and 1 source.

They get stuff right because of it, but then they get a fair amount of stuff wrong too or at least it isn't "right".

It's like shooting fish in a barrel with a Mac-10. Of course you'll hit a few.
